The devil of it in the Lisk and Silva cases is that no one at all ever saw a suspect, or remembered seeing any suspicious person or figure around, it was just a total stumper. Those three girls, one after school yr had just begun, the others (2 sisters) soon before it was to end, were taken from their yards in lovely weather just minutes after the school bus dropped them off. Not one clue in any of them, SFAIK. Except the shaving off of pubic hair, a Conditism.
Rice would never have been capable of committing rape, much less murder, IMHO. The lesbians were not sexually assaulted, in any story I had read, nor did any struggle or ordinary common-law-defn of assault hardly, just killed.
PS: Rice has been unfairly sentenced so harshly as he was for a first offender in the Canadian-bicyclist matter, IMO.[He talked dirty, and threw a soda can which he said was empty and she said had some drink in it. He never touched her, and she said she was "run off the road" by his pickup, but this was into a nicely graded and mown, grassy scenic-pulloff area, and she was not injured. Mad as hell, though. And I am not saying wrongly, but not 11 years worth.
FTR Reynolds was killed 3-2-96; Williams and Winans OOA 5-27-96; Silva was killed 9-9-96; the Lisk sisters May 1, 1997, same day of year as Chandra (ooa 5-1-01). Modafferi on 6-23-97; Caity Mahoney slain late on 7-6-97, or just possibly early on 7-7. Rice incident with Canadian woman, OOA 7-14-97. Mirzayan slain OOA 8-21-98. Chiang slain 1-9-99.
We will know we are getting somewhere when CONDIT's DNA, not Rice's, is compared to all four of these girls, and not just to the 3 in Spotsylvania. Maybe staffers or Darrell Condit too? Where was Carolyn on those dates?
